Jim,
Thank you for the serial number. The 216 is of course the last three digits of the serial number. The other marks are just inspector's marks placed on the receiver during various stages of production/assembly/finishing. They vary from gun to gun and there is no way of determining by whom or for what they were applied. Thanks for sharing your new acquisition...not a lot of folks have a 1900 AE.
